Willer, Alsace, France

Re: Willer, Alsace, France

Karen, I looked at the records that I copied from Willer and sorry to say I only copied them up to 1862 so not able to look for anything on Victorine or a possible wedding on Joseph and Cahterine. I looked for births for a Joseph Brand (Brand is a very common name in the Willer area). I found a Joseph Brand born July 14, 1841. That was the only Joseph I found in your timeframe. There was another Joseph Brand born on May 23, 1834 and another Joseph Brand born on May 8, 1838. Sorry, I didn't copy any of the parents names down, but would give you something to start with. There was a Jean Wetzel born July 3, 1851 and a Veronique Wetzel born Aug 30, 1853 and a Conrad Wetzel born Nov 26, 1855 and a Pierre Wetzel born April 25, 1859. I also found a marriage for a Xavier Wetzel and Catherine Diebold on July 16, 1850 which would fit the timeframe for the first Wetzel (Jean born in 1851) for their parents. Sorry I didn't have parents names for the Joseph Brands or later records to look at but at least it is something. Good Luck.Doug
